Helicopter pilot Captain Emma Cantrell has a chance to clear
her military record in war-torn Afghanistan. She’s not about
to let anyone get in her way -- especially Afghan Captain
Khalid Shaheen. Emma can’t deny Khalid is one delicious
piece of eye candy. But she’s fallen prey to his kind of
charm before --and she’s NEVER makes the same mistake twice.

Kahlid’s fight against the insurgents makes him a target,
but his need for justice runs deep. He can’t jeopardize this
perilous mission by falling for Emma, but soon finds that
might be a losing battle. And when Emma is kidnapped, can
Khalid rescue her in time to give their love a fighting chance?

Your love of the Afghan people comes through in your blog. I too, love the lapis stone!! I find it to be as mysterious as the people. Your book has that edge of suspense to it, or at least that's what I picked up on from reading your interpretation. I'm anxious to read it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and for giving me a chance to win your book.(Peggy Roberson 1:02pm February 26, 2011)

I have always enjoyed your military romance stories. They always hit the right notes.(Carol Drummond 2:11pm February 26, 2011)

Your book sounds awesome! I am intrigued by your love of gemstones. My husband is a huge collector and we visit many of the shows in the North Carolina area in the summer. His dream has always been to go to the Tucson show! As well, our son freaks out over lapis lazuli. We bought a huge and gorgeous piece for him last summer. Enjoy the show and please post something about it, won't you?(Connie Fischer 5:24pm February 26, 2011)
